EXPLANATIONS. 

^ 

This list of topics is the result of many years' experience in teach- 
ing ancient history in classes preparing for college entrance examina- 
tions. From quite small beginnings the list has grown to its present 
form. The compiler has been assured that it would be of service to 
others engaged in the same work, or in the study of Roman history 
for any purpose. This is his only excuse for publishing. 

It is claimed for the list : 

i. That it presents a full and systematic scheme for the study o 
Roman history by the topical method. 

2. That it is adapted for use in accordance with the recommenda- 
tions of the Conference Report in History in the Report of the Com- 
mittee of Ten (1892), of the Report of the Conference on History 
made to the New England Association of Colleges and Preparatory 
Schools in 1895, of the Report of the University Conferences on Uni- 
form Entrance Requirements made in 1896, and with the latest en- 
trance requirements adopted by our leading colleges. 

3. That the references are ample and plain but not so precise as 
to prevent the student from learning to find his own way in books of 
reference. The number of books referred to is large. The object is 
two-fold : (1) to broaden the student's view by the study of the same 
subject as presented by different writers ; (2) to make it possible that 
those whose library resources are small shall nevertheless find some 
references of which they can avail themselves. Even in cases where 
most or all of the books are available it is not expected that each 
student will consult all references. Judicious selections and assign- 
ments made by the teacher will secure breadth and variety in class work. 

4. That the topics, with few exceptions, are adapted either to fluent 
recitations or to written exercises. The exceptions consist of lists of 



4 EXPLANATIONS 

terms for explanation, of suggestions for map work, of analytical re- 
views, and of a geographical review. 

Even the remotest subdivision under each head may be used as 
individual topics, but in case a more comprehensive topic is used, its 
subdivisions will serve as an outline for the oral or written exercise the 
student is to prepare. 

5. That the list may readily be used with classes of younger stu- 
dents by making omissions which the teacher can easily indicate. 

6. That the " Topics for Special Investigation' ' provide more seri- 
ous work for those willing to undertake it. 

It will be noticed that in some cases the topics either overlap each 
other or are substantially identical. This is deliberately done with the 
intention either of making each topic a perfect whole in itself, or of 
leading the student to examine the subject from different points of view. 

A chronological table runs along the left of each page and a geo- 
graphical review is placed at the end. 

Although the compiler is aware that it is chronologically incorrect, 
it has seemed best to him to condense most of the study of Roman 
social and private life and art into one place— -the Augustan age — and 
the study of literature into two places, the so-called Augustan and 
Silver Ages. 

A short list of historical fiction, tales, poetry and drama is inserted 
before the index.
